Application

Ethyl methoxyacetate was used:
  • as acyl donor during the preparation of enantiomers of several phenylethylamines
  • as acylation reagent for the aminolysis of 1-phenylethanamine
  • in an industrial, lipase-catalysed kinetic resolution of primary amine

Both enantiomers of several phenylethylamines, structurally related to amphetamine, have been prepared in good yields and excellent enantiomeric purity by enzymatic kinetic resolution using CAL-B and ethyl methoxyacetate as the acyl donor. In the case of the 4-hydroxyderivative of amphetamine

Commonly, hydrolase-catalysed reactions are used for kinetic resolutions of alcohols, amines and acids. Only a few applications in total syntheses have been described. Most of these examples are for the synthesis of amides and peptides. Here, the synthesis of all

An in situ hybridization procedure resulting in both high resolution and sensitivity was established by using the removable methyl methacrylate resin, Technovit 9100. Young bicellular pollen of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. SR-1) was embedded in Technovit 9100 resin and sectioned.
